S3 Graphics continues to refine its range of graphics cards, adding a second model in its latest generation, the Chrome 540 GTX.
This map is a Chrome 530 GT faster. The GPU from 625 to 800 MHz, and memory is 500 MHz GDDR2 850 MHz GDDR3. The memory bus remains the same however, with a width of 64 bits.
S3 adds however DisplayPort video output in addition to HDMI and DVI ports now traditional. The card adopts a format of classic coup, while the Chrome 530 GT is in low-profile.
It will therefore still entitled to the same features: HD video decoding, 3D acceleration DirectX 10.1 and OpenGL 3.0, with minimum consumption. But nothing very special, with an active cooling, maps rather basic, that will not really threaten the competition with a rather high price: 70 dollars 540 GTX.
